Can you simply rinse his eye with a sterile saline solution? The only other option I can think of is to take him to an Avian Vet and let them deal with removing it.

Yes you can obtain it from a pharmacy or a vet clinic would have it as well. Perhaps spraying him gently with a mist from a water bottle will encourage him to run and it might dislodge the feather hopefully ? Otherwise a vet visit is the only option I can think of as well.
Irritating
Feathers around the eyes can grow in a way to irritate the eye. This is often seen in show budgies with good top blow. We handle this with sterile tweezers,
but you need to be able to control your budgies head and foot movements. If you are unable to do this you should get your bird to a vet to have the feather removed. We keep sterile saline on hand for rinsing wounds. You can usually find this in 8 ounce bottles in the pharmacy. You should also have a tube of sterile ophthalmic antibiotic ointment in your first aid kit. Be sure there is no steroid component in the ointment. Please keep us informed of results from avian vet visit, Best wishes, Jo Ann
